90% of white Americans have no understanding of history and don’t care. And a big chunk of that remaining 10% also don’t have a real understanding but they’re reactionary white men who read books about history by Bill O’Reilly and Oliver North and watch the History Channel when something about WW2 is on.
But these people don’t want to learn actual history. American history - like everything else in their lives - just exists to stroke their egos and make them feel like the Good Guys and that people like them (white folks) are also the Good Guys.
